Individual therapy FAQs

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

My provider was great. I was having big technical difficulties getting into the session-( the video specifically, not the audio), and I wish there was a number I could call for immediate technical assistance- I ended up having to have the session on my phone, as it wouldn’t work on my computer.

Victoria Labonte, I’ve had a wonderful experience with my therapist. She is compassionate, understanding, patient, and truly listens without judgment. She creates a safe and comfortable space where I feel heard and supported. Her guidance has helped me grow, see things from different perspectives, and become more confident in myself. I truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and supportive therapist.

Dee Thomas is a great counselor. She provides a perfect balance of talking through things, teaching during sessions and reading, reflecting and prayer between sessions. She reaches out to check on me and has become a true source of accountability and I really need that right now.
